Netizens share interesting memories as Sachin Tendulkar asks them about 2011 World Cup win

On April 2, 2011, the Indian cricket team made history by clinching their second ICC ODI World Cup victory, defeating Sri Lanka in the final of the tournament at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. Led by MS Dhoni, the Indian side also achieved the distinction of becoming the first team to win the World Cup on their home ground, a feat that had never been accomplished before.

This triumph, which came 28 years after Kapil Dev and his team lifted the World Cup trophy in 1983 at Lord's in England, has been hailed as one of the Indian cricket team's greatest achievements. Gautam Gambhir's pivotal knock of 97 runs and MS Dhoni's unbeaten 91 helped India successfully chase down a daunting target of 275 runs, culminating in one of the most memorable moments in Indian cricket history when Dhoni hit a six off Nuwan Kulasekara to finish the game in style.

Celebratory ride on Mumbai streets and subsequent traffic jam at Juhu circle. I think the whole of Mumbai was going crazy on streets.

That was one of the greatest moment of joy. Dhoni's expressionless face staring at the ball going into oblivion, Yuvraj crying, Gambhir roaring, you screaming like a teen, Kohli picking you up on his shoulders, victory lap, India on streets. Everything still feels fresh.
